You may be able to trigger avalanches in high-elevation areas that catch and hold wind-drifted snow. Look for signs of wind-drifting, such as smooth, rounded pillows of snow, cornices below ridgelines, or a hard, hollow-sounding snow surface to identify potentially dangerous spots. There isn’t a lot of snow, especially at lower elevations, so if you find slopes with continuous snow cover, you have found a potentially dangerous spot.
